Learning
Learning a speedrun in Devil May Cry 3 may seem to daunting, but at the early stage the game is generous once you follow beginners route.
- Make savefiles before each part that you probably have issues with. You can backup and copy the savefiles ( HD Collection is generally in <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\631510\remote\ while the 2003 port is in <Steam-folder>\steamapps\common\Devil May Cry 3 ) into a seperate folder.
- Make splits. Download a program like Livesplit and setup your splits. It does not matter how bad they are in your first run.
Once you have completed your first run and made savefiles practice the parts you are least confident with then try another run. When you get more confident you should stop getting safety routes and start tighten your currency.
